Steely Dan打工團員要版稅

早年曾參加過搖滾樂團Steely Dan的團員David Palmer，二月底為版稅問題在洛杉磯法院出庭，他認為該團在網路與衛星通路播的歌有他1972到1973年唱過的歌，但這還不是主要的問題，因另一筆在2012年底到2013年共九個月的版稅，他確曾領過六分之一即八千美元，所以這個版稅爭議要從2000年時開始查起。

David曾唱過"Dirty Work" 與 "Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)"，也唱過"Reeling In the Years"等歌的和聲，他還寫過Carole King暢銷曲"Jazzman"的歌詞，他從這些工作賺取版稅。

Steely Dan是於洛杉磯組成的搖滾樂團，主要成員是主唱與吉他手Donald Fagen及主唱與貝斯手Walter Becker，他們是一個錄音室合唱團，除二位主要團員外，其餘團員都從錄音室網羅，David Palmer即其中之一。

Steely Dan在排行榜上名次最好的歌是1974年第4名的歌Rikki Don't Lose That Number，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第382名，2001年獲選入搖滾樂名人堂。

Rikki Don't Lose That Number

 

We hear you're leaving, that's OK

 I thought our little wild time had just begun

 I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run

 But if you have a change of heart

 

 [Chorus]

 Rikki don't lose that number

 You don't want to call nobody else

 Send it off in a letter to yourself

 Rikki don't lose that number

 It's the only one you own

 You might use it if you feel better

 When you get home

 

 I have a friend in town, he's heard your name

 We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row

 We could stay inside and play games, I don't know

 And you could have a change of heart

 

 [Chorus]

 

 You tell yourself you're not my kind

 But you don't even know your mind

 And you could have a change of heart

 

 [Chorus]
